He no longer wished to live, what value was there in living if he could only suffer in silence, forever chained by the injustice he’d endured? Just at the time, a whisper rang in his ear. Was this his chance? “What are you?” [Searching familiar terms so Host may better understand...] [Search complete!] [I am the Sacrificial Summoning System.] A system? “So, the gods haven’t forsaken me after all.” [The more souls are sacrificed, the stronger the summon will be.] "Or maybe it's the devil," ******* Update Schedule: 1 Chapter a day.

Release chapters will only be one chapter a day on weekdays. The releases will become more consistent depending on how well the story does.

Investment Empire Building / Confident MC / MC is not the only smart character DISCLAIMER: The similarity in names of characters in this novel to those of real world individuals is purely a coincidence This story is set in the same universe as my first novel, "Evolution of Genius: every night, I get smarter!", however, reading this novel doesn't require you to have any knowledge about the other.

Trying my best to keep this novel free for all peoples. Veil Tremmons made the mistake of trying to kill a man with a very thick bible. As a result, he died. The rest is self-explained by the very long title. Nobody cares about timed novel updates. I know I can read a lot and I know you can read 200+ chapters a day. Even I, personally, don't care about timing until the book is 100+ chapters. Aiming for 3 chapters a week, but, hey, I'm nonchalant. Author's Warning: 1. Book starts slow but speeds up. Read some extra chapters. The main character is not a kid. 2. MC is shady, upright, kind, considerate, downright evil, indifferent, and can use a plethora of titles and descriptions. I want to create someone who learns all of the world, good and bad, before he makes some of his more ultimate decisions throughout the novel. He is definitely a hypocrite, but he LEARNS. But before any of that, he simply has a "I don't give a care" attitude. 3. The main plot settings are 'Breeding Base/Buying, Selling, Trading', 'Empire Building,' and 'Small World Space Treasure Hunting'. Age is College-range but I want to keep him physically out of the college itself as much as possible. If you like or dislike these things, Go to author's warning no. 9. 9. If you are fazed, not fazed, or your eyes hurt, please start the book. It will make the upper corners of your cheek muscles flex, which relieves pressure on your eyes. Also, it will take your brain someplace else. Apparently that's a good thing. Thank you, world.

Against the Odds: How I Recovered $86,000 from a Binary Options Fraud unmasking the scam. I never thought I’d see my money again. After months of frustration, I had lost hope of recovering the $86,000 I invested in a binary options trading platform. But today, I want to share my journey and prove that recovery is possible. Living in Colombia, I first encountered the platform through a flashy online advertisement. It promised quick returns through binary options trading, a concept I didn’t fully grasp but found alluring. Initially, I invested $2,000, encouraged by what appeared to be substantial gains. As my balance grew, I became more confident and ended up investing an additional $84,000. For a while, everything seemed to be going well. The platform displayed impressive profits, claiming I had made $175,000. However, when I tried to withdraw a significant portion of my earnings, I faced an onslaught of obstacles. My requests were met with delays and vague excuses. Each time I was prompted to pay withdrawal fees, I complied, only to find more fees waiting for me: taxes, processing charges, and even unexpected compliance fees. I realized too late that I was trapped in a scam, having lost another $26,000 in fees alone. The experience was not only financially devastating but also emotionally draining. I felt embarrassed for trusting a platform I barely understood. Yet, despite the discouragement, I was determined to fight for my money. After extensive research, I discovered Rapid Digital Recovery and their promising testimonials. Skeptical but desperate, I decided to reach out, WHAT SAPP: + 1 41 4 80 7 14 85.... To my surprise, Rapid Digital Recovery managed to recover 100% of my investment. The relief I felt was indescribable. Although I still grapple with regret over my initial decisions, I’m incredibly thankful for the support I received. They restored not just my funds but also my confidence in the recovery process. If you’re into scam, don’t lose hope. Reach out to Rapid Digital Recovery You don’t have to go through this alone, and there is a way to reclaim what you’ve lost.
